Review:
Deep Creek State Park is a lovely state-operated recreation area in western Maryland, located in Garrett County approximately three hours from downtown Baltimore. The delightful 1,800-acre park is anchored around the 3,900-acre manmade Deep Creek Lake, which was created in 1925 as a result of the construction of the Pennsylvania Electric Company's Deep Creek Dam.
Two lifeguarded swimming beaches are offered on the lake's shores, open to the public between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Kayaking, water skiing, and motor boating are also popular activities at the lake, with fishing for bass, trout, walleye, Northern pike, and yellow perch allowed with valid permits. 112 electric and traditional campsites are available for overnight stay at Deep Creek State Park, with day-use picnic sites offering children's playgrounds and barbecue grills.
